Arsenal finished sixth in the Premier League during the 2017/18 season. They won 19, drew six, and lost 13 of their 38 matches and amassed 63 points.

The lackluster performance last season has affected their Money League performance. They have fallen from the 6th place finish last time to 9th this time around.

The revenue earned by The Gunners has also taken a hit. It was €487.6m for 2016/17 season but has dropped to €439.2m for the 2018/19 season. €206.9m (47%) came from Broadcast rights, €120.7m (28%) from Commercial sources, and €111.6m (25%) from Matchday earnings.

The ninth-place finish is also the lowest they have achieved since the 2004/05 edition. A major cause of the fall has been the lack of UEFA Champions League football -- which hit the broadcast revenue by £18.4m.

There is optimism ever since Unai Emery has been appointed as first team manager. Yet, it seems unlikely that The Gunners will be climbing in the next edition.
